A Review of Toxicology Annual Volume 2

The book consists of reprints of selected papers from Volume 10 of the Journal of Clinical Toxicology. So many varied areas and approaches in toxicology are represented that no central theme is evident and the overall product is fragmented. Research approaches to small animal autopsies, XAD-2 resin for biologic specimen extraction, safety testing of fragrances, drug abuse control program support, mutagenesis, comparative toxicology, and various topics in therapeutic drug monitoring and clinical laboratory toxicology are all mixed together in an anthology of current topics in toxicology. Individually most of the papers are meritorious; as a volume they are not cohesive. One could review the Journal of Clinical Toxicology and learn the same information. This volume is a selected duplication of previously published papers with no evident format advantage over the original material.
